Looking to keep your viewers engaged? You gotta go fast. That’s the strategy employed by Under InspeKtion, a web series that moves forward at a breakneck pace.
The main character of Under InspeKtion is K, a put-upon accountant portrayed by series writer and director Aleesio Franko. In the first episode, K finds himself under arrest, and his detainers refuse to tell him the nature of his crimes. Subsequent episodes pile on additional layers of intrigue and add to K’s misfortune.
In a press release, Franko and co-director Max Marcellus claim Franz Kafka’s The Trial as their inspiration. K’s struggles with bureaucracy are certainly a main theme, but Under InspeKtion is more than just a Kafkaesque tale. It’s fast-paced script, which dishes out lines with the speed of a particularly chatty vlogger, is quite witty, and several characters--especially an alluring vixen played by Emily Hooper--have a noir feel to them.
